Not so fast, Chosen One

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg put the brakes on Obama's law-skirting regarding the Chrysler bankruptcy. See, under long-standing federal and Delaware law(Chrysler is incorporated in Delaware), when a company declares bankruptcy, it must abide by applicable federal and state laws. Under those laws, there is a hierarchy of payoffs to creditors that take place as the company liquidates assets. First the bond-holders get paid off at 100cents on the dollar, then come the preferred stockholders followed by the common stock holders. By royal decree apparently, Obama gave the UAW(who are not bond-holders) 54cents on the dollar for their 10% investment, but gave the bond-holders only 27cents on the dollar for their 20% original share. Who besides the main-stream media doesn't see an obvious, political payoff to the unions here?

Thankfully, some of the bond-holders had the guts to stand up to The One's rail-roading of them and the law. Ginsberg has 24 hours from yesterday to decide whether she'll let the Court hear this case. If she allows it, it'll be the first time anybody has dared slow down Obama's transformation of the country, and a delightful smack-down of Obama's belief that he is above the law. That is was the Court's most liberal justice is icing on the cake.

And the frog-god said, "Ribbet".

If you want to know why the human race has been a disappointing, miserable failure of an experiment to God, look no further than this story....

A FROG that constantly changes colour is being worshipped as a GOD in India.
Hundreds of curious followers flock to Reji Kumar’s home every day to pray and ask for miracles.

Now one of the country’s top zoologists plans to study the rainbow frog. But Reji, 35, who keeps the creature in a glass bottle after finding it while out watering plants, is afraid it might CROAK first.

He said: “My one problem is that this frog does not appear to eat. I keep trying to feed it but it doesn’t eat anything. I don’t know what else to give it.”

We're worshipping stupid frogs now? Is that what the human race has devolved into? Frog-worshipping idolaters? What is it with Indians? I swear, they'll worship anything that is out of the ordinary. And this idiot, Reji Kumar can't get the frog to eat and wonders why, when he keeps it in a jar. What kind of way is that to treat a god for heaven's sake? If the apocalypse is upon us, this is why.

Worshipping a frog....good grief!

Monday edition of Friday funny

You all know I take no greater delight than in hearing about animals eating dumb people. New reader BBC sent this in for my enjoyment....



Before the clip even starts, you know what's about to happen. What an idiot! I would like to have seen the next 10 seconds of video. I wonder if it just took his arm off or death-rolled him into the pool, killed him, and ate him. Either way, I find it amusing.

Creative job training for the next generation

If you remember last week, I posted a video clip of my family cutting down a tree in our yard. You can see it here. Here's my 15yo splitting the logs that he cut up after the tree came down....



If college doesn't provide him with gainful employment, I can always send him to Oregon to be a lumberjack.

Newsflash from MSN---Girls Dig Guys With Jobs. The MSN homepage had this headline this morning...

Out-of-work bachelors struggle in dating game

You don't say? That they ran a story about it must mean they were surprised by the shallowness of women who won't date derelicts. It's different when you're already in an established relationship and the guy loses his job....that's one of the harsh realities of life but, why would you start a new relationship under that stress?

Maybe single guys without jobs should concentrate on finding one, rather than a girl.

Would you date this guy?

We Get Screwed Again

TODAY IT IS GM THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS RAMMING IN OUR BACKSIDES!! What is Next?

Maybe you don't understand, or care, but we are sitting around and watching the new Obama led executive branch spiral us down the economic toilet, with a boat load of help from SanFran Nan and her legislative cronies. First we allow for billions of dollars of bailout money to be sent to GM, etc. Unfortunately, this cash donation doesn't stop any bleeding. Allowed to continue to operate at a maximum of inefficiency we now watch as this greedy corporation pillages us. We sit by and take the changes they demand. Here is whats up....................

GM will discontinue associations with many of its dealers. This is done under the guise of saving the company, but it is done in reality to again over burden the consumer with the problems of mismanagement, etc. I live in a medium size southern city. It stands to reason that the metro area and its outlying region can and has supported about 12 GM dealers of various types. We will now be down to 2-3. Direct costs to the consumer will rise. Profits will increase and "zero" money will be paid back to the already overburdened taxpayer. Now I am fine with a free market turn and businesses declining out etc., but I am not fine with a liberally led and selected grouping of remnants- as we now have. It appears to me that the dealerships that are the most representative of republicanism are the targeted goners. One dealer has been in business since the 1800's. They are out as we speak. Owned by a conservative family for all its time, they are being victimized.

I didn't want Obama to run the country, and I sure don't want him screwing up all our businesses and lives. We need to resist now. No more bailouts. No more aid to endure ourselves to the "big money" stupidity that seems rampant at the government level. Stop the madness now! The merry-go-round must stop and when it does we all must get off and go play elsewhere.

Kung Fu was one of my favorite shows growing up.

Carradine, 72, was in Bangkok to the shoot movie "Stretch" and had been staying at the Park Nai Lert Hotel since June 2.

The actor was absent from a dinner with the film crew on June 3. The crew attempted to get a hold of him but were not successful. They assumed he was resting.

A hotel maid found Carrradine on Thursday morning in the closet of his suite. A police investigation reports the actor was hanging by a rope. Police said he was dead for at least 12 hours and found no signs of foul play.

That's a bummer.

What's in Ed's CD player?

FM music mostly blows these days! It's formulaic, having been contrived from a focus-group poll by a record-company toadie. I know you're sitting out there in your claustropohic cubicle, toiling away on boring, pointless busy work your boss assigned to you. And in addition to second guessing all your life choices, you're wondering why the microwave Kettle-Korn that the drone in the next cubicle popped in the office kitchen, smells so awful. What you need is some high-quality tunes to take the edge off another soul-sucking day spent in your crap office chair, in your crap office, at your crap job. Well check out what I've been listening to lately, and while it won't change any of the dreadful decisions you've made in your life, it'll help you escape, drug-free, for a little while, the mind-numbing despair and hopelessness.

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!

Beware the Government-Industrial-Media Complex

I was under the apparently misguided impression that the U.S. Presidency was a serious job, with serious issues, and serious work to be done.....foolish me.....

The Caucus - NBC was clearly thrilled to have enough access to President Obama to base a two-part, prime-time special on it all this week (Part II runs Wednesday night.)

Mr. Obama, however, went even one step further for the network – participating in a spoof interview segment for “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” during his formal question-and-answer session with the NBC News anchor Brian Williams at the White House.

In the segment, shown on “Tonight” late Tuesday, Mr. Williams asked Mr. Obama whether he almost canceled his overseas trip this week “to stay and watch” Mr. O’Brien’s “first week as host of ‘The Tonight Show.’’’

Mr. Obama was fully game and, referring to Mr. O’Brien’s succession this week of the former “Tonight” host Jay Leno, joked, “This is something we discussed several times in the Oval Office, how to manage this transition between Leno and Conan. And I think he’s up to the task. But I just want him to know that there is not going to any bailout coming out from Washington if he screws it up.”

The economy's in the tank, the federal government is taking over private industries left and right, unemployment is 6%-8%, the Norks and Iranians have nukes and are threatening to use them, gas prices are creeping higher and higher, and Jon and Kate are splitting up. Does our President have the time to be goofing around in a serious news interview? And should the President be this chummy with a major news organization(NBC) which is supposed to represent the peoples' interests in checking the President's actions?

Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "Beware the military-industrial complex". Under the reign of Obama, we should beware the Government-Industrial-Media complex.

The servile MSM

I found this over at Hotair. Brian Williams demonstrates, with an embarrassing genuflection, the media's unapologetic adoration of Obama as their personal lord and saviour. Better grab a vomit bucket before watching this....



Americans do NOT bow to our political leaders. We do not kiss their rings. We do not fall before them in worshipful reverence....but our reprehensible, ass-kissing media do. This is as sickening as watching Obama bow to the Saudi king. No, it's worse because the press is supposed to be the Constitutionally-mandated watch-dogs of government. How can you be so delusional as to pretend to be a watch-dog of a politician who you obviously worship with every fiber of your being?

I weep for our country.
